Hello,
Just finished installing OpenSuSe 11.2 GNOME live cd in Sun’s virtualbox software in my Win 7 host OS.
I shared 1 folder for this suse virtual machine.
How can I mount shared folder?
virtualbox has given this command > mount -t vboxsf share <share_name> but not working. in fdisk -l in suse its not showing any win folders.
Problem is I am not able to access my host using smb:// command. ping reply is also nothing.
Any help?
Regards,
Amey.

VirtualBox Guest additions in OpenSUSE 11.2 - openSUSE Forums
Found above link. I fired 1st command and it seems like I need to download 98 mb dependancies for > zypper in kernel-source kernel-syms
Above link seems to be sent during beta stage. Any 1 tried using some other easier way in final version of 11.2?

Hi
Prior to running the mount command did you create the directory?
sudo mkdir /windows
sudo mount -t vboxsf share /windows

Hey I found that 30 MB VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso in iso list in my virtualbox.
Now I am running >> VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run from that iso
Error > Please install GNU compilar & it says install headers & build for your current Linux kernel. Also says install GNU make
Can I get that from OpenSuSe dvd iso? I have it with me right now.
